It is Jackie Lapin’s expertise to help great leaders get booked for speaking engagements, radio shows, podcasts, virtual summits, virtual networking events and conferences in the fastest and easiest way possible. She explained what their services entail, including going out there to find leads for their clients, doing tons and tons of research that might as well take so much time, creating training programs, and providing the tools their customers need in the process. Their mission, as Jackie points out, is to make life easier for their customers. Much like Jackie, she understands how difficult it can be to land an opportunity at big events, but in this episode, she provided some helpful tips and best practices on how to easily navigate the application process and increase your chances of being booked as a speaker. According to her, it is important not only to find your prospects, but also to establish good relationships with them for future partnerships. When asked for tips on how to stand out at conferences, she shared based on her experience and working with people, to always be clear to your audience that you're there to help. A transformative message is better than credentials, as she pointed out.
